Shepherds and Angels

A baby's cry
A child's first breath
The only tears that fall
Are fall to us from Heav'n
His Father knows what He must do
But does anyone here on this earth see the truth?

Born to die
You give us life

And the whole world may seem to be turning around
Just the same as it ever has been
And the people don't realize the gift they've been given
The Holy One sent down from Heaven
And in the sky shines down a light
To point out the giver of Life
And shepherds and Angels are praising Your Name on this night

A little town
A manger bed
No place of comforting
To lay the newborn's head
No royals here to greet their King
But the wise will inherit the Salvation that He brings

And the whole world may seem to be turning around
Just the same as it ever has been
And the people don't realize the gift they've been given
The Holy One sent down from Heaven
And in the sky shines down a light
To point out the giver of Life
And shepherds and Angels are praising Your Name on this night

And the whole world may seem to be turning around
Just the same as it ever has been
And the people don't realize the gift they've been given
The Holy One sent down from Heaven
And in the sky shines down a light
To point out the giver of Life
And shepherds and Angels are praising Your Name on this night
